2024 presidential election live: Trump reveals how he responded to Melania’s surprise pro-abortion stance

    (FILES) Republican candidate Donald Trump is seen with blood on his face, surrounded by Secret Service agents, as he is taken off stage during a campaign event at Butler Farm Show Inc. in Butler, Pennsylvania, July 13, 2024. Courts, bullets and verbal stumbles have left their mark on this year's US election campaign – one of the most extraordinary in the country's history. A sun-drenched Trump rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 offers the most shocking moment of the election campaign so far. There are popping noises, Trump touches his ear, sees blood and falls to the stage floor. Secret Service agents surround him as screams echo through the crowd. Within seconds, Trump is helped back up. "Fight, fight, fight!" he addresses a now cheering audience and raises his fist to create one of the most iconic images in American political history.

    Donald Trump will make his triumphant return to Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, just under two months after he was shot in the ear.
